Even projectors can cause glare if they are designed for halogen bulbs, it's less than a reflector housing, but still present. The simple fact is a hid capsule will never generate the same style of light that a halogen will, and light will be places it's not supposed to be when you try to interchange the two.

Do not put HID's in non-projectors. Its a real dick move towards everyone else on the road. Leave this to the losers driving riced out civics.
You have your opinion and I have mine, I have ran HIDs in non projectors for 3 years. No problems what so ever. I have never had any complaints about my HIDs from family, friends or otherwise. You go ahead and blind me with your supper cool 400w roof lights then we'll see who the real *** is.

Every single headlight on the road causes glare..

no matter if its HID's in a halogen housing, hid's in a projector, or just halogen bulbs, it ALL causes glare.
So chill out

I used to have my HID kits in non projectors for a while but it didn't give me issues with anyone. So i guess don't worry about that too.

I got mine at hidextra.com, I was just reading their website and they have a new slim line ballast. Check it out guys. I think it's pretty bomb! -> HIDExtra introduces all new Stealth V2 HID Slim Ballast | HIDeXtra Blog
